Video cables are usually screened & have characteristics that make them preferable for the job that Cat5 does not have.

However, as it's twisted pair you can but try, however strip the outer back & identify the pairs so that they are used for the video signals etc when you "try" it.

Heck, if it works all's well, if not then you only need to get a new cable.
